DIETITIAN Q&A!! all of the questions that no one wants to answer *let get REAL about the RD process*

We are finally back with some DIETETICS CONTENT!! Wohoo! I was actually in the last phases of studying for my RD exam when I filmed this video so it only felt fitting to do a little Registered Dietitian Q & A. This is not your typically q&a video though, we're getting into the REAL information that no one likes to talk about.

- Would I become an RD if I had it to do over again?
- #1 tip to get matched
- The RD process
- What can dietitians even do?
- Tips to excel in undergrad
- The TEA about the internship
- Best & worst internship rotations
and MORE!

**NOTE**- I realized that didactic and DPD are the SAME THING after I posted this (face palm). When I say DPD in this video I meant a COMBINED program. So sorry about this mix up.

Comment any other questions you have down below :)

Dietetic intern/MPH student here! Coordinated programs can also be a coordinated with a Masters or Ph.D! These programs are probably going to become a lot more common in the next couple of years as the dietetics profession transitions to the entry-level masters degree requirement in 2024.

I’m a future RD going into my second year of undergrad! Love your videos and all the insight you give about becoming a dietitian and disordered eating. You’ve helped me so much :)

[ambermay]

also would love to hear about the things you'd want to change in the internship, if you have any specifics

[youjumpijump]

Solid vid. Also, love the dress :) Thanks for this Mallory!

[bryanamitchell]

Future RD(hopefully) with a bachelors in public health and planning to get a masters in nutrition/dietetics. Love your dietetic videos.

[madelinemcgrath]

Yes Mal!!!! i was so so excited when i saw this!!! im going into my second year of nutrition and dietetics undergrad!! and your insta is my fav!! 🤩🥰

[annarebecca]

Love this video was so helpful always wanted to know more about being a dietitian and the process!

[kaylarountree]

I commented on your other video. But I am. I still have like three years lol but yes. Hopefully should be out of school in 2023, and starting a internship either that year or 2024. I'm so happy that I found your channel. I am a student at Radford University.

[malloryjohns]

Love your videos!! I’m going into my last year of undergrad and working on applying to internships 😊

[katiebaca]

Thank you for making this video! I'm going back to school to get my BS in Dietetics and this video helped a lot!

[DesiRDN]

I ve heard and read that TOO many times and it saddens me: "this is not a high paying job". Although I'm sure it is fulfilling, the study + practice hours we need in order to get the RD credentials is not reflected in the salary. Hope this changes, as RD's are a crucial part of a health care team. I was wondering if you specialize in anything? Great video, btw.

[TheBeautyTruth]

Hi Mallory! Do you mind sharing how much you saved before the internship? Also, how did you budget during the internship? A year of no paying job kinda scares me haha

[evilo]

RD2B here! Starting my internship next month, it's clinically focused with an emphasis on diabetes and I'm super nervous!

[nataliehayes]

Hi! Nutrition and Exercise Physiology major here! About to be a senior in undergrad. I plan to apply to a CPD program to become an RD!

[laurenmillyx]

Hey, I’m currently a U.K. student studying a BSc in dietetics over here. I plan to work in the US, so want to do my masters and internship in the US so I can sit the RD exam. Do you know if I can use the BSc for DPD credits?

[rmtvthd]

How did you stay so involved? Thats my major concern if i decide to go through with dietetics (only career I can see myself doing!). I have thoughts like “how can i work/survive (on my own), attend classes and get involved with extras? Im an online student getting my basic gen eds done hoping to transfer/get accepted into dietetics program for my last two years undergrad, so ive never been enrolled in actual phys classes but from what ive experienced so far- i dont see how it can be possible w out taking out loans to assist as to have more time not working for volunteer/involvement

[lavonniee]

How did you get through your undergrad science courses? I’m in Bio 210 (Anatomy) for the summer and am struggling a little, but am just trying to push through and think about helping future patients. Love your videos btw!💞
